Im after music featuring piano.
Not classical stuff though.
Some examples of the sort of thing i want:
Night after night - The Sounds
Afraid of Loving you - Devics
I don't just want background piano.  |

silent all these years - tori amos
tiny dancer - elton john
i think lux eterna by clint mansell and kronos is pretty piano-y and awesome if memory serves too.
and the piano soundtrack by michael nyman is great, especially the song 'the promise'

Anyway:
All Ben Folds (some Ben Folds Five but piano is most prominent in his solo work)
Ben Kweller (in the background on most songs, but especially nice piano parts on Sha Sha - the song - and the slower sad ones like In Other Words and Thirteen)
Regina Spektor - everything, but there's less piano on Begin To Hope, her latest album.
Quite a lot of Cat Power, like I Don't Blame You.
Ray Charles, Jelly Roll Morton, some nice jazzy stuff.
Some Elliott Smith; he uses a lot more piano on Figure 8 than his other albums. There's some really nice rough piano on the Lost and Found and especially the Son Of Sam intro.
Feist - Tout Doucement
Inflammatory Writ - Joanna Newsom
I was listening to the soundtrack to Bugsy Malone earlier; the theme is ace and the musical accompaniment is led by piano. You're probably not looking for songs from musicals, but Bugsy Malone is a class above the usual!  |

| | | I may be back later with more. Oh, if you're looking for stuff that isn't pop music with lyrics but more popular classical, Ludovico Einaudi is rather nice. |
